The Grand Pecking Order

0 - Default Title
Description
Oysterhead is a combustible union of three extraordinary musicians - guitarist Trey Anastasio (on hiatus from Phish), bass player Les Claypool (stepping away from Primus) and drummer Stewart Copeland (long gone from the Police, now an in-demand scorer of films in Hollywood). What began as a one-off show in New Orleans in May 2000 has evolved into a fullfledged artistic collaboration, and The Grand Pecking Order is the result. The Grand Pecking Order is a richly textured and wholly absorbing musical tapestry. You will discern familiar elements - Anastasio's brain-hosing lead guitar, the surrealistic vaudeville of Claypool's bass and vocals, Copeland's driving, syncopated drumwork - embedded in a larger matrix that is uniquely Oysterhead. The overall sound might call to mind the term psychedelic, but not so much in a retro Sixties vein as a full-sounding, future-minded way.
